For example, there might be a power metal chorus and then a solo that clashes with everything they've built up. And this problem reoccurs consistently in every song. |

| Dark Tranquillity Construct | 4.5 |
| Children of Bodom Halo of Blood | 3.5 |
To be honest, I am completely surprised with the comeback Bodom made on this album. Bodom fans all around the world were crossing their fingers with little optimism and preparing for the worst to come. I remember when a lot of people (including myself) were lying to themselves saying "RRF is a comeback! Bodom is back baybuh!" that is until we [fans of Bodom] finally realized shortly after that Bodom crafted another shitty album even if it was better than Blooddrunk - it's still not saying much. There were too many elements to count that were missing in the song writing formula that made Bodom who they were back in the day. As well as too much alcohol, which probably played a significant role as to why the previous 2-3 albums sucked - we all know how creative we can be when we're impaired beyond recognition.
It's safe to say that Bodom is finally back on the right track to create another classic that can sit by Follow the Reaper. However, this Finnish entourage still has a long ways to go to craft an album that will put them on the right path to greater success. Halo of Blood is just the first of many steps of improvement. |
| Megadeth Super Collider | 1.5 |
In recent news: President Obama was just blamed on FOX NEWS by Dave Mustaine for the failure of Super
Collider. During the interview Mustaine argued his point with Senior Economic Advisor of the White House of how
higher taxes = less money, which correlates in less creativity and inspiration for entrepreneurs such as himself.
Hannity proceeded to say, "This is the reason why I hate that (N-word)."
President Obama responded with this: "Fear me; worship me. For I am Dave Mustaine's bane and High King of
this Middle-Earth!"
Mustaine has still yet to respond. |

Did you know this album was meant to be a tribute to Haiti, as well as being the intended next National anthem
for Haiti after the Haitian government ruled him ineligible to run for President?
I don't know about you guys, but I think this guy loves to fling his shit into ears that don't want him.
Poor Haiti......... Haiti gets no love these days...... This is a sad event in the History of Haiti.... Haiti doesn't
deserve this kind of backlash.... |
| Galneryus The IronHearted Flag, Vol. 1: Regeneration Side | 4.5 |
| This album is meant for diehard Galneryus fans, even though all fans of Galneryus are diehard. The IronHearted Flag contains all re-recorded material from their albums before Resurrection which had their previous vocalist during those years. But this album isn't exactly an album of exact re-recorded material. Instead every song contains different intros that were added or lengthened to the original - the same can be said about the solos. Besides that, the vocals and production have more quality compared to the original. |

| Ghost (SWE) Infestissumam | 2.5 |
| Amorphis Circle | 4.5 |
| Judas Priest Turbo | 3.5 |
Fundamentally, the album is a love or hate experiment [for the fans] that pays homage to the then rising Glam metal scene. But is that a legitimate reason why we should hate Turbo? Priest just came off of a career high with Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith so there's no doubt there's a spillover effect in play with the song writing. Yes, they do use synths, but they don't over play it as it has been portrayed. Songs like Locked In, Reckless, and Hot for Love along with many others are upbeat in their own right with some spectacular solos from their famous axe duo as well as soaring vocals from Rob Halford.
In conclusion, the album itself has been portrayed as total shit which in itself is an extreme understatement, and many fans are missing out on some of Priest's best moments from the '80s despite the cheesiness of it all.
Also, lol people think Glenn and K.K. are using keyboards! I guess people don't know the difference between guitar affects and real keyboards, and if that's the case then Buckethead is a master pianist. |

| The album is pretty boring all together, it's like they're playing the same thing over and over again. The vocals are pretty strong just like the drums, but it doesn't have any vocal differences at all, the same goes with the guitars as well. While the bass is blended in with the blast beats, the drums are the only thing that really sticks out on the album. Bottom line is that it's been overrated. |

Pretty solid throughout the entire album by everyone's part. Timo Tolkki has a lot of great guitar riffs being pulled out from his riff-box along with a shit ton of great solos. Jens Johansson also slays the dragon with keyboard solos and harmonization with the guitars make the album worth the listen. While the drums slay the god-dang unicorn, with Kotipelto performing excellent vocal work.

| There's not as much Judas Priest worship on here as much as their previous efforts from the past. Unbreakable showcases more power metal influence, you'll know what I'm talking about if you here songs like"And There Was Silence". Also, some other songs such as the previously mentioned, and Unbreakable pt.2, Strike, Metal Nation, Give Em Hell, and the leading single, Bad Guys Wear Black are important standouts that add to an extensive setlist for 'Best Of' entitlement in Primal Fear's discography. |

| Overall a great album. It has more Gothic metal tendencies more so then their claimed genre of melodic death metal. There's some nice solos here and there, though some parts in a lot of songs could've had a faster guitar solo instead of a slow one to put more an umph to the song itself. Don't get me wrong or anything, but the solos they do have fit perfectly in the songs, they're just more slow and melodic. The only down turn of this album is "Ghost Town" - it's some weird experimental gothic nu-metal song (vocal wise, not the instrumentation). |

| There are only two pitfalls in this album: Blaze, and the excessive repetitiveness in The Angel and the Gambler. With that said, Iron Maiden should re-record this album (along with The X Factor) and the average rating of this album would probably jump to a 3.5 - 3.8. I say this because the songs performed off of this album live with Bruce Dickinson behind the microphone sound more alive than the studio with Blaze on vocals. |

Simplistic (verse-chorus-verse), but catchy as hell. Both clean and harsh vocals are performed greatly done, that it brings in a Gothic metal atmosphere. The guitars have interesting melodies, with haunting acoustics, a bass that's audible, and drums with standout moments. Overall a fun release by a band that doesn't disappoint.
Recommended songs - Dying Sun, Exile, Silence, Fabrication, Dead Reflection, Savior.

| Yeah, it may be melodic death, but it sure has a punch to it. Melodies will remembered and have you hooked for a while, strong clean vocals, with death growls that aren't pathetic sounding, drums and bass aren't being overshadowed by the guitars, solos that are creative and not mindless shredding. Overall it's a great album.rRecommended songs: The First Snow - Winter Within, Deathstar, Judgement, Unbroken, The Butterfly Effect, and Wraith. |

Well, unfortantely Gus G. and Tomas left, technically on a bad note after this release.... In comparison to Sweet Vengeance is what I really mean.
I mean there's a lot of great songs on here such as Being Nothing, Drug, and Frozen. But there isn't as much talent bleeding off from the Gus nor Tomas. One main reason that I saw this not being as strong as it could've been was the lack of extensive guitar solos and vocal variation from Tomas, along with the fact that Tom S. Englund had no contributions to clean vocals! I mean what the fuck!? Tom gave a lot of spunk to Nightrage's music along with something different then a straight forward album that Descent Into Chaos brings.
Bottom line is that this is a great album. Nothing more; nothing less, but the songs I've mentioned previously are the standouts of this album. |
